Hi guys. We just went to Gal's coffee shop. Yeah. He's there. He's actually in there. Also, he's so tall. Can you tell when I'm filming? He's like 6'4". He's tall and low-key. And he can't. Anyways, we're gonna do a taste test. We got their malted honey matcha situation. Cheers. It's interesting. The matcha's texture, like it shouldn't be textured. Like it shouldn't be. Okay, it's not bad. Upon my second step, I'm like, you know what? It's okay. That's our review of Saba Surf Coffee Shop. Gal love island. He's really cute. We lied. After a couple more sips, it's actually good. It's actually good. Yeah. I don't know. It just needed a second for my palate to adjust. It's good. I'm pleasantly surprised. My first sip I was like, well done, Gal. But yeah, that's our review. I still don't know how to pronounce his name. But yeah, that's our review.
